TO ALL WHOM IT MAY.-CONQERIT: t

vBe it known that I, WILLIAM W. TICE, of California, Hamilton county, Ohio, havel invented a new and useful Moulders Clamp; land I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof,v reference being had to theA accompanying drawings, making part of this speoi'cation.

My invention relates to an eiiective clamp for moulders flasks, which,whlemore. quickly and easily' `Aappliedthan the'ordinary clamps, does not, like the latter, tend to mar and bruise the edgeof vthe liask. Figure 1 shows two of my clamps in place upon a ask. v -Figure 2 is an enlarged and perspective .view of my clamp detached.

Figure 3 SHOWS my guarddetached, 'Ar is the shank of a hook, B', similar to that of lan ordinary clamp. The shank A, atv its upper end, a, is somewhat reduced in size to enter a square or oblong aperture, c, in a slab, C, whichI call the guard. The slab C projects laterally on the same side` of the shank, as the .hook B, and is scred/or `rougherxed, c', on the under side of said projecting. part. Hinged, D,to the extremer-:nd of the shank A., above the `guai-'d C,`i`s a f cam-headed lever, E E" F, Whose head, EE', bearing' upon thetop of. theguard, presses it'toward the hook as the lever F is depressed. The cam-head is bifurcated into two equal and similar `parte or members, E and E", so as to bear equally and squarely upon the'guard on both sides of the shank, and to enable the guard tobe l pressed bodily and truly down upon the edge of the flask without cantng. y

I claim, herein, as new and of my invention- The'mouIders clamp, composed of the hook A Bguard C, and cam-headed lever E E F. In testimony of which invention'I hereunto set my hand. l l '1 l WILLIAM W- TICE..
